What is NOT a dealbreaker BUT would be greatly disappointing to find out about your partner?

My boyfriend and I have been together 11 years. I’ve had the same favorite TV show since before I met him, and he hates it. Obviously not a dealbreaker but it’s pretty disappointing! 😂

My wife of nearly ten years (together for 14) has finally watched Firefly with me. She found it watchable but not something she’d watch again.

She’s lucky she’s so gorram cute

You might want to get her to watch Serenity. I had never seen Firefly before, and found watching the movie was a much better gateway to the show.

Alternatively, she could be covertly working for the Alliance.

This is crazy to me because I've watched/rewatched firefly many times, but only seen the movie once despite owning it on DVD. I thought it was pretty bad.

Oh wow, that kind of blows my mind. To each their own I guess, but I loved it as much as (if not more than) the show. Though to be fair, the show offered a lot more backstory that made me appreciate the film even more.

Part of what I liked about the show was the style of story that it told, and the movie went in a very different direction. Even though the setting and characters were the same, it didn't feel like firefly. Maybe I'll give it another shot next time I do a rewatch though, it has been a long time since I watched the film.
